I'm sure you know Hedgie Choi's Salvage, but if you don't, it checks a few of those boxes and is so good.

I agree! Michael Crichton's books are so good. The Abyss is still a favorite even though they made a crap movie...

I had more fun on this show than should be allowed. Hope it comes through in our conversation about my terrible poems. (Sorry, not sorry, Dave, for making you cry...)

Excited that it's on the home field, but the organization in Chicago always sucks. Trying to use two hotels as the conference venues where none of the rooms are large enough and you can't get into panels was a huge issue last time and made it mostly a book fair thing for me.

Mute a lot of words you do not have any interest in seeing. It helps
